Precipitation was finally received across some areas of the region, however, not widespread enough or in quantities that drastically change the overall conditions. Producers remain hopeful that more rain will fall in the near future before crops begin to go backwards.
The Meadow Lake areas reported the most rain with 64 millimetres (mm), which was desperately needed but likely resulted in flooding and was accompanied by hail. The Deer Ridge area received 25 mm and the North Battleford area received 14 mm, while the Rivercourse area only received eight mm.
These showers were enough to improve top-soil moisture ratings for the region. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 24 per cent adequate, 55 per cent short and 21 per cent very short. Hayland is rated 16 per cent adequate, 50 per cent short and 34 per cent very short, while pasture land is rated as 17 per cent adequate, 47 per cent short and 36 per cent very short. While these moisture levels have risen slightly, there are still many areas of the region that are extremely dry.
The stressful growing conditions across the region have pushed crop development ahead for earlier seeded crops while those crops seeded a little later are rated as being behind. The crops rated as normal will begin to be delayed if growing conditions do not improve in the region. Crop conditions in the region range from poor to good, with the majority rated as being fair.
Minor to moderate crop damage was reported in the region due to wind, heat and dry conditions over the past week. Minor to moderate damage due to hail was also reported. Minor to moderate crop damage occurred due to flea beetles with some producers taking control measures. There were also some reports of minor damage due to grasshoppers and pea leaf weevil.
